How can I render to image a 3D scene?

Question

my question is quite simple: how can I create a 3D scene in c# and render it to an image? Are there easy-to-use 3D engins or libraries that allow me to do so?

I have to realize a web-based app that let the user navigate an enviroment and I need to show him images (street-view like)

Thank you

Answer 1

There are many fairly easy to use 3D Engines which work from C#, all of which support this, including:

• XNA
• SlimDX
• Mogre

Answer 2

Unity3D supplies a web player. Only problem: the PRO version supports render-to-texture, but the free version doesn't.
